Another crap squad selected by Boucher and co
Beuran Hendricks:
A strange choice. Hendricks’ figures in first class cricket this season don’t justify an international call up. He’s played one match for Western Province and two for SA A and taken 1/203 in 69 overs in that period.
Cricket SA appointed a Commissioner - an Advocate - to investigate racism in SA cricket and the useless submitted long strings of complaints against Graeme smith, Boucher, De Villiers and De Kock - that while De Kick's father married a Black woman and he was brought up in a multiracial household. The report submitted alleged that the four mentioned are racists.
Fact is every player who did not perform in the past and who were in fact useless laid complaints about racism against the four mentioned. Incidentally the Advocate appointed was a Zuma defender and multiple court cases and he flopped in all of them.
Anyway - dropping some of the players on Dave's list is hence impossible and the fact that they are kept in the squad is based on politics and has nothing to do with cricket

BThe Heineken Star Of The Match was centre Damian De Allende.y the way the Munster match youa re watching is another fine example of rugby ignorance by you - in the match report th following:-
"The Heineken Star Of The Match was center Damian De Allende".

The SA team ia a farce with the battings an bowling badly damaging. \
Elgar, Markram, Petersen, Van der Dussen, Bavuma, De Kock, Mulder, Jansen, Maharaj, Rabada and Ngidi,
Elgar, Petersen and Bavuma have been out of form and Jansen ahead of Olivier is a real joke as well. Rabada and Ngidi have been out of form for a while now. This is nto a good start for the series and we can blame the selectors for another farce.
Rabad bowling at 135 kmh and being inacurate - nevver attacking the wickts and Ngidi evn lower giving away 8 runs in 2 overs.
After 20 overs there were no balls bowled faster than 140 kph and Rabada average 137 kmh and Jansen 135 kmh with Ngidi averaging 134 kph.
Apparantly SA without Nortje and Olivier has no fast bowlers left and at best the three bowlers used were medium fast. Besides that there were no attacking of the wickets by the bowlers and not a single pad hitting and no extras were in evidence, A very poor bowling spell to start the first test. Two die bowls bowled by Rabada went for fours.
The only possible opportunity to get a wicket, was when De Kock missed a difficult catch from a bowl bowled by Jansen. After 28 overs the score is 83 for no wicket.
In one over after lunch Rabada bowled one over when he reached 141 kph three balls - the next over was back to between 132 and 137 kph.. Question is Rabada and Ngidi match fit? Does not look like it. Rabada has picked up weight and Ng idi the same.
Mike Haysman confirmed the bowling pace of the three so-called fast bowlers today as follows:-
Rabada - 136,8
Jansen - 134,6
Ngidi - 132,8
The above figures indicates none of the three are in fact fast bowlers - in cricket parlance they are in fact medium-fast bowlers - not the real thing anymore. Fact is Ngidi is probably down to a medium pacer in the case of most balls bowled.
Aside from that Rabada gave away runs by numerous wides and no-balls. Ngidi in fact bowled poorly most of the times and the fact is that the 3 wickets he got has more to do with carelessness by the batsmen who saw no threat in his bowling.
I saw this coming from a while now and was referring to deficient pace by Rabada for a while now. The Indians also saw the deficiencies and Delhi released him from his contract with them, while Chennai did the same iro Ngidi, Gone are the millions those two made from the two clubs. By the way Delhi retained the services of Nortje - paying him $1 million for the 10 week season. I think Jansen has a better chance of getting contracted than either Rabada and Ngidi are.
Plum I think the constant racist attacks on staff and players are the reason for the low interest in the game showed by the already dispirited team today.
Sad sack of sh!t-showers.
We used to have grit and fighting spirit...no more.
Toe nie...uphill, but not over...yet.
What a disaster this afternoons play has been for SA.
No spirit at all in going for it but simply hoping for a miracle.
V Dussen shouldering his bat and getting bowled is an indication of the class batsman that he has turned out to be.
When he was first selected some folks implied that he was a star batsman to fill for players like AB when they retire....well sorry to burst your bubble guys but he is not what he was made out to be.
The other opener with the skipper needs to be dropped asap.
After watching the England-Aussie Ashes tests this year which was exciting this series (SA- India) has been a boring and that is being kind to the SA players.
Dark days, but not over yet...
